Gundersen Inpatient Behavioral Health

The Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit is a 30-bed facility that provides mental health and chemical dependency detoxification services. Patients are supported and protected in a healing environment during their hospitalization. At all times, safety is our primary concern. We encourage patients to keep their daily routines and actively participate in their own care. A team approach provides consistent quality care.

Individualized patient care is designed by the psychiatric team. Patients are encouraged to participate in establishing goals while hospitalized and progress toward those goals is monitored throughout the hospital stay.

While staying at the Inpatient Psychiatry unit, a patient will be cared for by a variety of staff including

Psychiatrists

Nurses

Internal Medicine providers

Social workers

Occupational & recreational therapists

Pastoral Care

Other specialties as needed
